It seems as though the custom gun makers could never get the bolt handle treatment right. Compared to the elegantly formed Oberndorf commercial Mauser bolt handles, one like this looks like a lifeless afterthought, lacking the elegance and grace of the factory version. It looks as though the original knob was simply heated up and hammered flat, then perfunctorily checkered. Even the post war Mausers produced by BRNO have flat bolt handles with much the same flair as their original Oberndorf prototypes.

The same thought as expressed by ellenbr struck me about the ravaging of the engraved receiver ring for the purpose of dovetailing in the front base for the claw mount. There was a perfectly acceptable alternative to this, in the form of an adapter with a built in dovetail for the front scope mount base, which could be installed over the barrel at the chamber. Use of it would also have avoided weakening the action by the gigantic dovetail cut above the locking lug recess. As pointed out in an earlier thread, such a rifle would never pass proof today.
